Hello and Happy New Year. I am back again with a new essay that contains – 1000 words the maximum I can do is 1050 I cannot order less than 1100 but that’s fine. Do not do more than 1050 words.
I have to choose one of the followings. Please do not choose the second one.It is a TV news but I haven’t even included here because it is harder. It is better to choose either the first one or the third one but prefer the Representation and Stereotypes.
1.News Values: Choose one newspaper article and analyse what news values make it ‘newsworthy’, and what kind of register/rhetorics are used within the article.
Newsworthy? How is this connected to the news values? What is news? Who decides what is news? I have to convince why the article that I have been chosen became news. For instance you can write something like: I have decided to analyse this newspaper article at the back of the newspaper. Why is at the back, why not at the front, etc?analysing and discovering. When you introduce the article you can not just talk about the article and the writer, you can talk about the publication of which this article is…. like who is responsible? I have to include this 10 words as many as I like and explain them.
1.The paper elite
2.Celebrity
3.Entertainment
4.Surprise
5.Bad News
6.Good News
7.Magnitude
8.Relevance
9.Follow-up
10.Newspaper agenda
3.Representations and Stereotypes: Choose one example of a media text and explore what kind of stereotype(s) is/are used, and ask yourself, why do stereotypes matter?
It can be an article, photograph – Something that is mediated, something that happens in the media. Why this is important? What kind of words are used? I have to define what representation is, define what stereotype is? Why is it powerful, etc.? What language is used? Impacts? Why I have came to that conclusion, etc? Does it reflect natural beliefs around the world? Is this representation pejorative or judgmental? Does it perpetuate a ”us” vs ”them” ideology?…sentences like: I think that this is stereotypical because such and such….
Does it express the dominant ideology?
Does it naturalise the power relationship in society?
I think the third one is better to do which is: Representation and Stereotypes. Please when you write essay write it in a way that I can understand. Do not use difficult words. Also please do not copy from anywhere as you know it will be plagiarism and it will be detected. Use please references that are easy for me to find out. When you have chosen the article, or whatever is – the link to the article, newspaper, etc. should be done as a reference on the bottom of the essay so the teacher can access it. I will upload the powerpoint as well from my lecture so it will help you too. I will work on this essay as well, so please message me if you don’t understand something, etc. Just please again do not copy and I will be happy if you choose the Representation and Stereotypes but do not please choose the second one which is TV news.
Thank you and please do read the powerpoint slides. Happy to work with you again and hopefully you will do a great job!
Thank you in advance!
